Camera & settings

Scope, limits & privacy

Capture 2–60 JPEG frames, 1–60 seconds apart, with a 32 MiB total and 2 MiB per-frame cap. Actual elapsed timestamps are included in manifest.json; delayed frames are not invented or backfilled. The camera stops after completion. Export is a verified ZIP of still frames, not an encoded video. Leaving or hiding stops capture; already completed frames can be exported, including a single completed frame from a stopped sequence.

HTTPS or localhost and browser camera permission are required. Facing direction and dimensions are preferences; delivered settings are shown. No camera history or uploads. Hidden tabs stop capture, and Reset, switching or exit releases captures, workers, URLs and tracks.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

Tool inputs stay in your browser. Only your theme preference is saved on this device.
